What's the truth? fetch(1) is broken only in > i386 architecuture? How about boot0? Are there any errata of ERRATA.TXT? Uh, this is odd. :) AFAIK, the version in CVS is the official version. It probably needs to have the fetch(1) errata merged into that in both versions (alpha and i386), (as well as the webpage version, also in CVS). Then, the ftp site needs to be updated so that it has the lateest ERRATA.TXT from the CVS tree. boot0 is only i386, so it doesn't need mentioning in the alpha errata. Whoever manually edited the ERRATA.TXT on the FTP site needs to be thwapped a couple of times. :) > -- - > Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA -- John Baldwin <jhb@bsdi.com> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
